Applicants are invited to apply for a Specialty Doctor post in General Medicine based in Withybush General Hospital, Haverfordwest.

During this period you will undertake a cardiology clinic a week and front door cardiology assessments. Then time dependent on competency you will move to a fulltime specialty doctor in the Cardiology Team role and General Medicine Oncall role (1 in 12 rota).
